Jihad has blown up The Liberal Utopia.
The visionary liberal land of political and social perfection.
President Obama is not happy — and he isn’t alone.
You know the place.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where gun background checks prevent mass murder.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where Islamic fundamentalists have changed their perception of America because the President travels to Muslim nations to give lovely speeches, believes that the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and elsewhere is a wonderful sign of an Arab Spring, and refuses to use the word “terrorist” whether his administration is investigating Ft. Hood, Boston, or Benghazi.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where a 2009 presidential video proclaiming a “new beginning” in American relations with Iran will halt the effort to build a nuclear bomb.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where the good intentions of Social Security will never bankrupt the Social Security Trust Fund.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where the good intentions of Medicare could not possibility result in trillions of unfunded liability.
• The Liberal Utopia is a land where the War on Poverty was supposed to end poverty — and instead winds up sending violent crime skyrocketing, and, in the words of Thomas Sowell, setting up the American black family for rapid disintegration in the liberal welfare state “that subsidized unwed pregnancy and changed welfare from an emergency rescue to a way of life.”
One could go on …and on and on….spotting those will-o-the-wisp glimpses of The Liberal Utopia (Obamacare here, the Obama stimulus over there, the promise to close Guantanamo way back there) with example after example of this miserably failed attempt to find or create a Liberal Utopia.
Or what our friend Mark Levin deftly calls Ameritopia.

The Liberal Utopia is a land of unicorns and purple skies...
That’s right. As the Huffington Post has noted here, and I have placed the real news in bold:
WASHINGTON — The Boston bombing suspects engaged in a deadly firefight with police last week, possessing six bombs, handguns, a rifle and more than 250 rounds of ammunition. But the Tsarnaev brothers did not have proper licenses to possess the firearms, according to the Cambridge Police Department — a revelation that comes just days after the Senate voted against strengthening and expanding background checks for gun sales.
Cambridge Police Department spokesman Dan Riviello told The Huffington Post that neither Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, nor Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, appeared to have a license to own a handgun.
Can it be? Can it be? No permits? ping
Yep.
‘One of the “casualties” of losing this worldview is losing the assumption of “I’m a good person”.’
If I knew your real name, I would attribute this to you, because in my opinion, this is the statement of the century.
It literally sums up almost 100 years of liberalism in the US, and why under the weight of all the evidence they aren’t willing to admit that it doesn’t work.
The Soviets never had this problem, since they never had God in the first place.
Much tougher when entire denominations of church going people vigorously support late term abortion and homosexuality.
Prayer and study and prayer...
“Liberalism” actually “makes sense” to me now.
It’s WRONG, and based on wrong assumptions,
but I understand what those assumptions are better than most if not all those who hold those assumptions.
Thanks for the ping.
Reminds me of an interview with Grace Slick when she candidly admitted they were naive for thinking they could change the world with music.
Dear leftist idiots - Most of the world does not even speak your language. They have no clue of anything you ever said.
Thanks Ernest.
